Hello, I saw that buying a (2nd hand) locked iphone is cheaper than an unlocked iphone (yes I'm a newbie.) Is it worth saving 30-50 pounds buying a locked phone? And why is there a difference in price between locked phones with different providers (O2 is significantly more expensive than Orange, for example)?
Thanks in advance.
If you purchase a locked phone, then that is the only carrier you can use with that device. You would have the option to request an unlock after meeting the requirements of the carrier if you are interested in using a different carrier. Price of used phones is dependent on supply and demand.
1. Only if you're a customer of the carrier the phone's locked to. There's no guarantee that they'll unlock it for usage with other carriers.
2. Different carriers have different plans and unlocking policies.

and be VERY wary of buying from UK e-Bay ,where many of the UK stolen iPhones get moved on
02 provide a better service and are quite happy to unlock a customers iPhone as are 3
Certainly cannot be said of EE /Orange/T-Mobile
Best advice ,buy from a legitimate source and have a pain free experience
Thanks guys. I have another question (the forum isn't allowing me to submit new questions.)
I'm thinking of getting an iphone 3G 8GB Black. How does this compare to newer models (specifically the iphone 4) when it comes to web browsing, reading and watching videos?
Can u help me solve my problems? Please.
Why my iPhone cannot login to my own Apple ID either I try many ways like reset password also cannot be login? Why will be like this? Please help me solve my problems.

Very very old will only support iOS 4.2.1 and we are now on 8.0.2
OK as a 3G phone but if you want to do anything more challenging then an iPhone 4 or 4S should be starting point
Check the deals offered by UK carriers on older iPhones

If you have just purchased the iPhone second hand ,it is probably asking for the Apple id of the original owner
This is activation lock
Find My iPhone Activation Lock
The original owner has to unlock it it is an anti theft provision
Worthwhile buying a locked iphone -and if so, which?
